TL;DR - Play the game.
A system that doesn't reward honest behavior shouldn't expect honest conduct.
If I were 100% honest at the start of my career, I would still be at the helpdesk instead of being a senior product manager. Play the game.
Out of college, everyone that I know of that lied, got jobs immediately. The honest ones never got jobs and it wasnât until they lied that they got a job lol. This stuff is real.
I lied to every interview when I said I really want this job and I'm passionate about your company.
Itâs mad how weâre all taught to be good and honest from young age and life just untwists those rules and beliefs throughout the years
My Ex would put companies that went out of business so, they couldnât call and verify. It worked and was genius lol.
Lying on your resume is borderline a necessity.
"They say honesty is the best policy; therefore, by elimination, dishonesty is still the second best policy" - George Carlin.
As an 18 year old who just finished school, I already have 25 years of experience in both marketing and nursing, as well as a PhD in economics and a doctoral on oral health
A friend of mine told me that he lied on all of his resumes back in the day. When they asked if he was familiar with computers, coding, etc he said "Yes" when it came time to do the job he would say stuff like "Oh you know the OS I used is different, or the equipment I used was different at my last job. Could you show me how to work it?" It always worked and he learned how to manage data and do other things very well. One of the biggest factors is confidence. If you ask to be shown, and get scared when all the information is given, or think "I can't do this" you will probably fail. Also a lot of good jobs require common sense rather than education. (Just throwing that out there)
- Job gap = Bad CV.
Itâs crazy how people can control your opportunity for a job regardless of credentials. I dated a chick that worked in HR and would go over resumes from home when I would be at her house and she would pass up more than qualified people for ridiculous and dumb personal reasons. People put years and finances into their careers just to be judged by someone who shouldnât be in that position to do so.
it's disgusting. my dad always taught me that integrity was the #1 principle to abide by in life. In job hunting that is
A friend put it this way âjob interviews are just lying contests, you lie about how qualified you are, they lie about how great the job is.â
"Mind letting me contact your previous employers?"
This is legit fabulous. I'm a recruitment manager at a recruitment firm, I see the bullshit that hiring managers do behind people's backs. The harsh truth is that you're a piece of paper (your resume, obviously) to hiring managers. The key is to fill your resume with "half-truths," over-exaggerate your skills a bit but be able to competently explain them during the interviews.
If you ever have a gap in your resume, just say you were taking care of a loved one that is no longer with us. They will drop any further questioning after that and if they do then theyâre not worth working for.

As someone who is honest TO A FAULT, this hit hard.
